Chapter 217 : Imperial decree
Now, while James truly did run to Silhouette's office, he didn't stop there. Once inside, he locked the door, stashed his clothes in a hidden compartment, and slithered his way through the secret shadow paths embedded in the walls to rush the entrance, meeting up with members of Mischief watching, hidden in dark corners, as the Empress' forces marched the Penumbral Palace's way.
Well, whe...

The day after his little escapade in the ruins, James was back to work.
"Yo, James!"
"Hi there, Maggie."
Thankfully, work now included someone he liked hanging out with on the regular. Part of the Silhouette persona dictated he had to be aloof and keep some distance away from his people, and those he did enjoy the company of and considered friends were usually busy with their ...

"Hey kids, I'm home!"
"Hi, Dad!"
While they weren't easy to see, James' human form did feature lips, lips that were presently curved in a smile. His children were grouped up on the couch, watching TV. Well, they were watching a streaming service program on the TV, since apparently the current Captain Cyan run on TV was a cheap reboot and far inferior to the show the kids had begun t...

The undead was outright shaking as it stepped toward the now-open door, its eldritch green flames dancing across its bony fingers. Its half a head twitched left and right as it stared at the group outside despite its lack of eyes. Its mummified skin cracked with the extreme movements, audible even over the shuffling of its oversized decrepit robes. It screeched in rage and despair as it raised ...

The chamber was... Not quite what James expected. Doctor Bones described it as the likely personal space of Neiclaz's leader, and he supposed in a sense it was. Yes, there was a bedroom in a... Well, not a corner since the room was a massive cylinder, but it was there, against a wall, with a strange yet neat curved look. Seeing it let James realize that, unlike the rings, this full room didn't ...

The contract turned out to be a very pleasant surprise for James. It was straightforward, short, and he would even argue it was in his favor. He still consulted his colleagues and allies, chief of which Nanyet and Blake, experts when it came to such contracts, to be sure he wasn't being deceived, but they confirmed his initial feeling. The pay was generous, though not his main concern. The cont...

James wasn't expecting this sort of invitation.
"You wish for me to join you on an expedition?"
The archaeologist responsible for the relative peace of the Sunken City nodded with a broad smile before pausing.
"Well, more of an exploration than an expedition, but yes! You see..."
The monk cleared his throat to interrupt her, though he never stopped glari...

Greetings, Silhouette.
Word of your achievements has reached us. Doctor Bones does not care about the politics and conflicts among the various groups inhabiting Sunken City, as long as they respect her rules. She much prefers to remain neutral in all matters.
That being said, we have heard rumors regarding you, and your abilities have caught...

"Aren't you worried your two technology-aligned subordinates will get at each other's throats?"
Mesker Duskenfer the Third, respected demonologist and pyromancer, was as nonchalant as always when making conversation, despite the menagerie of blazing beasts he had conjured to fight Silhouette, commanded safely from the safety of the pillar of golden flames he hid within.
"I t...

When the lady from the Shadow Commando directed Adam to what was supposedly Techlord's current project - after leaving a note in the bedroom to tell the Doc where he was going, of course - he had expected a workshop, maybe some defenses. He knew that Ivan was here to upheave the former orphanage, but surely if Techlord was working here it was because he was busy doing something. From what the D...

Decanov's metallic eyebrow twitched.
A fool would blame the problem on a faulty circuit, but he was no such imbecile. He had modified this body himself, all within the guidelines of his father's already great design. There was no room for such a silly mistake.
The next conclusion then would be that this was a natural reaction, his visage instinctually emoting. This was equally ridic...

The rest of the tour went splendidly. By that, James meant there had been no problems or interruptions. Decanov had been grumpy as usual, doing some final checks and maintenance before he would have to spend some time down in the Sunken City to work on the Shadow Den. The only noteworthy thing was the man mentioning he would need to talk to Silhouette at the end of the day. James assured him he...

"And these two fine gentlemen dressed in black and white are Larry and Barry. They're the boss' first employees and some of the most loyal members of the crew. If Silhouette and Techlord aren't around, they're the next ones in charge."
Truth be told, the two men had changed a lot since their time in the slums. Yes, Larry was still a tall and lanky man, and Barry a short, stout one, but an...

Maggie was very giddy as she signed the papers that would cement her place as one of Silhouette's employees - the shadow man himself sitting in front of her, on the other side of his desk. Thankfully the paper of her contract was white rather than the typical black that occupied the entire office, and the pen he had given her to sign it was made of red plastic. She was not ashamed to say she bu...

A day after dealing with that cheap Villain invasion problem, James wasn't surprised to see a familiar scaly face come knocking at the Penumbral Palace. Well, technically she entered the shop normally and just asked Larry and Barry if Silhouette was available, but the turn of phrase stood. She wasn't alone, though her escort chose to stay outside. They looked more armed than regular cops, and a...

Sadly for James, his captive wasn't quite as informative as he had hoped. He was merely an intermediary for his client to contact those pitiful Supers, if they could even be called that. He didn't know who hired him, the money and instructions being dropped at random points in the city he was informed of via anonymous text messages. Even that took some convincing for him to admit, namely being ...

James was very annoyed right now.
He stared at the struggling wannabe Villain he was choking with a tentacle, the man with some sort of lizard costume gasping for air. This idiot had had the bright idea to try and break into the Penumbral Palace at the end of the day, presumably in hopes of kidnapping James or something along those lines. To the costumed buffoon's credit, he had managed t...
